Christa, a volunteer from Self Help and Peer Support, comes with her son, Zachary, to our Tuesday morning cafes here at 41 Macdonell Street. She sits down to chat with guests and volunteers, works on a puzzle, has a snack and a drink. Then, at 10:30 am, she and Zack head outside for a short walk around Downtown Guelph, returning around 11:30 for a cold drink.
